But I cannot allow myself to fall behind. I wouldn't want to play poker without reading Theory of Poker, after all!

... assuming you've already bought the book.

Re: Now POG is costing me money!
 

There's a book? Uh oh, heh.

Re: Now POG is costing me money!
 

I have never seen it either, but I will probably buy it too. Is it good for my 4 year old son to watch?

Yeah absolutely. I don't think anyone dislikes The Princess Bride.

Interesting thing about the book from my time as a book dealer. There is a part in the book, which is also in the movie in slightly different form, where the narrator says "If you really want to read the kissing scene you can write off to the publisher". The author wrote the several page kissing scene and left it with the publisher. So if you looked up the publisher's address and sent away for it you would get the kissing scene in the mail.

So first edition copies of Princess Bride are fairly valuable, but ones with the kissing scene insert are at least double the price.

[/ QUOTE ]Well it's apparently rated PG, and that's a 1980s PG, so it's probably at least safe for him to watch.

Inconceivable!

(still haven't seen it myself, either)

Re: Now POG is costing me money!
 

Watch it. Decent movie, fairly funny, but leveling ftwaments.

Re: Now POG is costing me money!
 

Well that whole glass-switching scene just busts me up. I don't expect the whole movie to maintain that level, but if it has enough moments like that, I think it's certainly worth $10 to me, heh.

Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

Re: Now POG is costing me money!
 

neil,

it is easily one of the funniest movies of all time.

i've never read the book. i probably should.

i only saw it for the first time a few years ago when my wife berated me for not having heard of it

Re: Now POG is costing me money!
 

BRAG- One of my wife's friends came over today and she has the DVD, so I can borrow it for as long as I want.

In college, I loaned that book to at least a half-dozen people.. it's better than the movie.

I've had to buy the book several times; I keep loaning it to people who keep it.
After seeing the movie I thought there was no way the book would be as good. I was wrong - the movie is true to the book. The book is simply the movie, but more so.

I might be the only person in the world that doesn't love Princess Bride. It's not a bad movie, I just don't get why people think it's so great.

Princess Bride is a pretty good movie. Definitely not the best ever, but it is very hard not to enjoy it.

Re: Now POG is costing me money!
 

The sense of humor in the movie speaks to my soul. I live for a good joke.

I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake. Until then, rest well and dream of large women.
